I've had great luck with Cursor by simply cursing at it when it makes repeated mistakes.
I'll speak to it like a DI would speak to a recruit a basic training.
And it works.
I was speaking to some of the Cursor dev team on Discord, and they confirmed that being aggressive with the AI can lead to better results.
This makes me sad. Have you tried being really nice and supportive instead? I really don't want to have to yell at my computer for it to work :(
Yes and it didn't work. I've actually got Cursor/Claude to curse back at me. Well, not AT me, but it used profanity in it's response once it realized that it was going around in circles and recreating the same errors.
Shit, that makes me a lot more worried for my job than any programming test. My ability to swear at the computer, and not user the word delve, is what sets l us apart from AI. if they can do that, what hope is there for the future?
